Alright again, I'm new here so if this has already been discussed sorry :o

One thing that bugs the hell out of me is that I would take all the time to buy the Athlon sports books, put all the names in on College, play out like 20-30 years on my dynasty!!! Save the draft class to import to Madden, then when my roomates and I would move on to playing Madden and getting deeper into the Franchise some of the incoming players are like 25 and 26!!!!! :mad:

Alright granted if you redshirt a freshman at 17 or 18 even 19 and if he stays there all 5 years he would be like 24 at the oldest coming out. (That is unless he was 20 when he entered college though) But this assumption goes from 17 to 19.

Now we all know that when we build up our power house programs that most of our players would stay a max of 3 years, with a redshirt year maybe 4. So assuming that the player we'll say is 18 coming in should never be any older than 22 possibly 23!!!!

I'm tired of having studs in my college program and drafting them onto Madden and their F@#$ING geriatric :mad:

I don't know if this happens to any of you guys out there, but I really hope EA fixes this problem

wienke was like 26 when he was drafted wasn't he?

i'm not sure why this is happening, but it isn't uncommon or unheard of.

i can understand that because his old @$$ started college late, but when we are recruiting these high school kids or getting JUCO's I'm assuming they are in the 17-19 year old range. yeah weinke was geriatric but he and few are the exception to the rule, i mean everybody coming in to my franchises are like 23-26!!!!

i know if you save right before you load your draft class onto Madden you can keep reloading trying to get younger ages that are slightly randomized, ex.. if some cat comes in at 24 you could try this option saving and reloading like 20 times and 12 of them he'll be 23, 7 of them he'll be 25, 3 of them 24 and maybe twice he'll be at 21 or 23, just seems like to much fooling around to get my players were they should be :mad:
